In Chandler, Arizona , FBI Agents Kate Macer and Reggie Wayne lead a SWAT raid of a suspected Mexican cartel safehouse. Inside, the team discovers dozens of decaying corpses and a booby trap , which explodes and kills two police officers. Following the raid, Kate's boss, Dave Jennings, recommends her for a joint DOD - CIA task force, overseen by CIA officer Matt Graver, to apprehend the Sonora Cartel lieutenant Manuel Díaz, the man responsible for the bombing.

On a plane to El Paso , Kate meets Matt's partner, Alejandro Gillick. Joined by U.S. Marshals and DEA agents as well as U.S. Army Delta Force operators, the team travels to Juárez , Mexico to extradite Guillermo, one of Díaz's top men. As the team returns to El Paso over the Bridge of the Americas , they are ambushed by cartel gunmen. The team preempts the ambush, swiftly kills the gunmen and returns safely to El Paso, where Matt and Alejandro torture Guillermo, learning of a cartel tunnel used by Díaz to smuggle drugs into the U.S.

The team travels to an Arizona Border Patrol station to question detained illegal immigrants for information. Reggie and Kate confront Matt about their plan. Matt's objective is to disrupt Díaz's drug operations to such a degree that Díaz will be summoned back to Mexico by his boss, elusive Sonora Cartel drug lord Fausto Alarcón. The team finds the tunnel and raids a bank used by Díaz's money launderers. Kate gathers enough probable cause evidence to obtain arrest warrants, but Jennings overrules her.

At a bar, Reggie introduces Kate to Ted, a friend and local Arizona police officer. As Kate and Ted become intimate in her apartment, Kate discovers a rubber wristband in Ted's possession identical to the ones used to bundle Díaz's laundered money. Realizing he has been made, Ted begins to strangle Kate, but is stopped by Alejandro, who knew the cartel would send someone after Kate. Alejandro and Matt torture Ted into revealing the names of other law enforcement officers working for Díaz.

The next morning, Díaz is called back to Mexico to meet with Alarcón. As the team follows, Kate argues that the FBI has no jurisdiction in Mexico. Matt dismisses her and Reggie, admitting that he used them only to grant the CIA legal permission to operate within the U.S. Kate insists on staying on the team. She and Reggie join the raid on the smuggling tunnel. In the organized chaos, Alejandro sneaks undetected into Mexico, where he kidnaps one of Díaz's mules, a corrupt Mexican police officer named Silvio. Kate attempts to arrest Alejandro, who disables her by shooting into her bulletproof vest before driving off with Silvio in his police cruiser.

Kate confronts Matt about the entire operation. Matt refers to Medellín as a time when a single cartel ran the drug trade and could thereby be more easily controlled. He goes on to explain that attaining this type of control was the best they had to hope for. He also explains that Alejandro, who is working with the Medellín Cartel, has been hired to assassinate Alarcón, which Alejandro sees as an opportunity to exact revenge for the murder of his wife and daughter by the Sonora Cartel.

In Mexico, Alejandro and Silvio stop Díaz's Mercedes . Alejandro kills Silvio, then, holding Díaz at gunpoint, forces him to drive to Alarcón's estate. Once there, Alejandro kills Díaz and all of Alarcón's guards. He then corners Alarcón and his family at their dinner table. After announcing his motive, Alejandro murders Alarcón's wife and two sons in front of him before executing Alarcón as well.

The next morning, Alejandro appears in Kate's apartment and orders her to sign a waiver legitimizing the entire operation. When she refuses, Alejandro threatens her at gunpoint. Kate signs the waiver, and Alejandro leaves. As he walks away, she aims her pistol at him from her balcony. Alejandro stops and faces Kate, but she is unable to pull the trigger, and he leaves.

Back in Mexico, Silvio's widow takes their son to his soccer game. The game is briefly interrupted by the sound of gunfire before continuing as if nothing had happened.
